A Lengthy Handwritten Letter by R. Aharon Kagan – Son-in-Law of The Chofetz Chaim. - A historic lengthy letter written by R. Aharon HaKohen, the son-in-law of the Chofetz Chaim, while serving as Rabbi of Nowo-Święciany, Lithuania. In it, he expresses his dismay as he did not receive any reply regarding his immigration visa to Palestine.  Seemingly, he intended to emigrate together with his saintly father-in-law, and in fact, it was announced several months later that the Chofetz Chaim would indeed be going together with his daughter and son-in-law. The Chofetz Chaim ultimately did not succeed in emigrating, his daughter and son-in-law however, managed to go. As such, this letter dated 5684/1924, only several months before the official announcement, serves as a historic testament to the efforts of the Chofetz Chaim’s family members to emigrate to Palsetine.  A very rare letter with unique historic content, regarding the emigration of the family of the Chofetz Chaim to Eretz Yisroel.  [1] double-sided folded leaf, written on official stationery. Three handwritten sides. Approx. 20cm.
